The main goal of knot theory is to be able to distinguish distinct knots. We do so by using knot inva riants. Knot invariants are characteristics of knots such that when two k nots are equivalent\, they share the same characteristic. This talk will focus on three such invariants: the Jones polynomial\, the HOMFLY polynom ial\, and Khovanov cohomology. All three of these associate polynomials t o knots in different ways.
